Hey guys,

I got my Ultimate + account with 7Sage around this time last year, and now having logged on after a break from LSAT studying I got a notification that my account will expire in 3 days. I am under the impression Ultimate + has 18 months access?? Please help!!

Admin note: please refrain from posting the title in all caps

[Admin note: Ultimate+ includes 12 months now]

can someone please explain to me the purpose of this column when reviewing answers. I see that it has a drop down arrow and when clicked little boxes appear but what is the point/ what are we suppose to do with them

how does one successfully/ correctly blind review?

Hey everyone,I noticed when I time myself doing a section / question I get more concerned about the time then the question itself. If I don’t time it (keep timer nearby but not checking it ) I end up doing it faster and more accurately. Is this common ? Should I just not keep checking the time and develop a good pace ? Also should I bubble in answers after every page ? General timing strategies also appreciated. Thanks

Hey Everyone,

I took the LSAT last June and scored a 165 by studying with 7sage. My initial plan was to wait one year, and then apply for a few Canadian law schools.

However, I'm now interested in applying for NYU, Columbia, or Chicago and want to raise my score to 170. Ideally, I'd like to rewrite the LSAT in September.

Does anyone have any tips about:

Thanks!

I started 7sage with a 138, and I have done every preptest, until preptest 79. Drum roll please... 161! I'm still 4 points under my goal, of 165. I hope there is still some improvement before the july test. Reading comp is my weakness, especially the science passages.

After finishing the CC, it seems like the thing to do is go through PTs 1-35 fully and THEN start the untouched PTs. Since the study schedule doesn't actually take into account the time that would be spent on PTs 1-35 (it shows 0 min for each, as well as for the drills), how long did it take to go through them? I know a lot of the questions have already been taught in the CC.

What type(s) of law are you most interested in practicing and why?

Criminal law with family law a distant second. I'm fascinated with all things crime and found law to be the safest and most intellectually stimulating way to make a living in crime. I've wanted to practice criminal law since I was a kid.

If not practicing law, what other profession/career would you pursue (or do you already have)?

Photography. I tried portrait photography and, while I enjoy most of the work involved, I found that I really don't have the patience to deal with most types of people when it comes to client relations. Also, I suck at sales. Instead, I've been focusing my efforts in stock photography but it's incredibly challenging to earn even a meager living shooting stock, so it's more of a hobby that pays a little.

Hey- so I just had a session with a tutor, 120 - only books it out in 2 hours ( cad) not usd.

Gave me prepwork a few days before our session in those days I got sick, but still did what he asked for me to do - upon telling him I did 6 games he told me i SAID DO AT LEAST - after I brought his email up during our session. After we finished he said do at least 1 PT leading up to the exam I said ok so you were saying 1 and then I was going to finish my statement to discuss HOW many I would actually be doing he said I said at least 1 man you really need me to write least in 72 size font.

During the session he kept pausing for long bits even though I clearly explained I didn't know what the answer was.

Another thing - when we booked the session I said can we do it later I'm used to a later schedule ( due to some things ) then when he wanted me to book at 9am next week I said that's too early for me personally- hes like I'm not asking you to wake up at 5 am you really need to adjust your sleep ... told him I'm working on getting up earlier - keep in mind this lsat takes place at a later time.

Switch tutors ( give recommendations below) or am I over reacting , ( tbh the whole back handed comments are unprofesh to someone you are paying to teach you/gave me really uneasy feelings-not about the test about himself)

hey all,

so i've heard ppl say really good things about recording yourself taking a PT.

quick question - do you video record yourself for every PT you do?

or do you only video record yourself once in a while?

it's kinda a hassle to video record oneself... so i would love any thoughts/advice/comments on this. thanks!

Hi all,

I'm wondering if anyone has any ideas on how I can use my iphone to record myself doing an LR section.

I'm particularly looking to focus my camera for a clear view of my paper in order to identify how long I am taking per question.

I think it would also be useful for other purposes as well, ie critiquing my LG method.

I'm trying to go for the same quality as we see with videos of other 7sagers doing logic games.

Does anyone know how they do it? Ie what camera they use, what mount they use for the camera etc.?

Thanks!

I'm trying to figure out about how many logic games in PT 1-35 will be new to me once I finish up the CC.

I took my first preptest yesterday and I was disappointed with my score. For all of the questions that I got wrong I was able to eliminate all of the answer choices that I knew for sure were wrong. Then, I narrowed the answer choices down to two. However, I kept picking the wrong answer choice out of the two. This is frustrating because the correct answer is always one of the two that I was able to narrow it down to. However, I kept picking the wrong answer choice instead of the correct one. Is anyone else having this problem? If so, what can I do to fix it?

Thanks!

Are there explanations for each LR AND RC for PTS 1 - current ?. IF not what options are available.

Admin note: edited title for clarity

... and I am so freaking motivated. If I didnt love lawyering before I sure do now. So inspirational; so mesmerizing... I may have gotten a little emotional but lets just blame it on the preggo hormones. Has anyone else watched it yet? Am I the only one having a serious Come-To-Jesus moment?

Hey all,

So i hear that recording yourself take a PT is super helpful and highly recommended. I have a few questions that I think I have some answers (recording helps with pacing, etc.) but I would love to hear everyone else's thoughts/advice.

i also think some previous threads touched on some of these thoughts. if you could reply with any threads you think are relevant, that'll be super helpful too!

Thanks all!

Hey everyone, I was looking for some guidance from the "more experienced" users of the website. Is it worth learning the logical structures of arguments? Rather, perhaps I mean to say, identify the structure of the argument."

If P then Q

Q

Therefore P

If P then Q

P

Therefore Q

I understand how understanding structure may aid in identifying the validity of the argument, but does anyone "actually" find themselves identifying the argument structure for anything else?

I'd like to also extend my question to fallacies as well.

Has anyone found the automatisation of these useful in their studies for the LSAT. . . or . . . believe they would have been useful to know while actually writing the test?

Regards,

Lucas

Hi, first post here!

I am taking the LSAT in September, and have been studying for a couple of months now. Currently, my highest PT score has been a 158. My goal is most definitely 170s.

On my last PT, I got a 157, with a -7 LR, -11 LG, -7 RC and -3 LR. I haven't really studied LG much and haven't studied RC at all. as evidenced by my score. I've been focusing on LR thus far, and have improved my scores a decent amount. I'm also further encouraged just because 6 of the 7 LR questions I got wrong on the first one I had to guess because I ran out of time. On the second LR section, I had to guess on 2. So I'm just working hard on getting my time a lot quicker.

I'm studying around 5-6 hours a day, 5 days a week, and then a PT once a week.

I am enrolled in the PowerScore in-class program, which starts July 17. I wanted to improve my score as much as possible up till then.

Any suggestions for studying, etc.? I've used the PowerScore Bibles so far, with 7sage YouTube stuff for further clarity. Should I be taking more PT's? Should I be studying less? Should I focus on LG for a bit?

Just wanted a bit of direction in regards with this.

I realize there's likely a bunch of old threads about this, but what are some of everyone's favorite lines from JY? A recent one for me comes from PT 75.1.19.

Hi, June 2018 test in Asia is about 5 days away and I hit a conundrum.

This will be my second LSAT since last June when I decided to finish my Master's thesis first before giving another shot. I wasn't well prepared and test-day anxiety really got me so I scored 158.

Unfortunately, even after studying for a few months, my PT score range is broader than I would want it to be (160-167) and I believe this is largely related to my unstable score in RC section.

Frankly, I ultimately want to aim for 170+ but I know it is definitely not a realistic goal this time around. My BR scores range from 168-175, (which is again, quite broad) but timed-PT always gets me. I panic a lot whenever I see a question that throws me off and have a hard time concentrating on the following questions.

So, what I'm wondering is that if I should go ahead with the June 2018 or cancel the registration and take it in October. Since this is my second time around and my score is not stable, I'm afraid I'll score lower than my usual PT which I believe will look bad. I know getting through the test day/timed-test anxiety is something that you need to kind of get used to but knowing my unstable score, I doubt I'll get over it this time. But again, I hear Law schools would only care about the highest score so I might as well use this opportunity to get over myself with test-day anxiety although it is not a guarantee. There are so many different opinions about multiple LSAT scores and Law school's attitude towards them but I'd like some opinions from you fellow 7-Sagers.

Thanks in advance!

Of course, I plan to print out/BR PT 36-83, but I was curious about what is the best use for PTs 1-35 since many of the questions have already been taught.

Hey Everyone,

I've been studying these last few weeks with aspirations of taking in September. After working through about a month, I feel as though what I have to do every week with the sections of the course is too strenuous that I'm burning out and struggling to find the time to PT and blind review which is essential. I've taken the LSAT two previous times both scoring in the low 150's and I really don't want to rack up the times I've taken the test and look bad for admissions. Should I hold off to take in November to allow the time to digest the course along with doing my PT and blind review so I'm more prepared or should I take in September and November and just try my best to meet this September deadline.

Thank you in advance everyone for your help!!

For the last couple of timed section practices I've changed my strategy from finishing the section to focusing on each question. I'm not worrying about spending too much time on a question. I just spend what time I need to really understand the stimulus and answer choices, no skipping. I've only done this a couple times for LR sections so I don't have much data, but so far I've seen no substantial difference in score. The difference is in the pattern of my wrong answers. They used to be pretty evenly spread through out the section and were generally due to misreading the answer choices. For the latest two, all my wrong answers come at the end. It was really satisfying and empowering putting down around18 happy faces in a row even though the rest were sad faces.

I know ideally we ought to want speed and accuracy for this test but I'm interested in what ya'll think about one or the other. For me, my main issue is misreading right now so it seems logical to work on being meticulous.

Thoughts?

I've only been PT-ing on the 40-60 PT's, are there any huge differences between these preptests and the 80 series?

I don't write this to brag but I just wanted to share because I'm so happy. I just took my first post-CC practice test and scored a 154 after initially scoring a 141 on my diagnostic. I began using 7sage in late January. It's far from my goal score, which is 170, but I'm confident I can hit it by November. Now it's time to foolproof games and drill!
